Many of you know that I do a podcast for Top Producer called the Farm CPA podcast. On Monday, I did a special podcast on the House Ways and Means Proposal based on the summary information that I had at that time. Since that podcast I was able to get more details and that is why we released the update on DPAD on Tuesday. If you do not get Apple podcasts, here is the actual podcast for you to listen to.

The threats and vituperation from the pharma solution crowd escalate by the day--if you haven't been poisoned by mRNA, many think emergency rooms should deny you service if you break your arm. Indeed, one comment on my blog a couple of days ago indicated the same sentiment toward a person injured on a motorcycle after not wearing a helmet. What have we come to?

The House Ways and Means Committee released their income tax proposals on Monday September 13. As part of that guidance was a proposal to limit the Section 199A deduction to $400,000 for single taxpayers and $500,000 for married couples. Our concern was whether this limit was on the full Section 199A(a) 20% deduction and the Section 199A(g) DPAD deduction that flows through from cooperatives.

The House Ways and Means Committee released their Section-by-Section document titled “Responsibly Funding our Priorities” on how to pay for any new legislation. This 18 page document outlines all of their projected tax changes and it is better to start out with what is not in the document: No changes to step-up in basis. If their plan goes through as is, there will be no transfer tax on appreciated assets at death or during lifetime.

Most everyone assumes that the April 15 deadline for tax preparers is the worst date. However, an even more stressful date (at least for me) is the September 15 deadline.
